There Are Creatures in the Wilderness
“When I walk in the woods I am always looking for the small creatures.
Sometimes I find them in streams or on trees, and sometimes I do not see
them at all. I do not know if you partake in this idle pastime but if you
do perhaps you have seen things I have seen, and perhaps you have seen
things all your own.
I seek to recreate the edges of those holes worn in a person’s past – to
create images of situations that conjure up a memory you may have had,
something similar to a feeling you once experienced. To make images that
allow you to place yourself in them, to change them around and use it as a
patch for a hole you have, to make your story more complete. In my
paintings I attempt to capture the beauty of faded memories and dreams. I
think there are certain things in life that all people have been astounded
by, hence my large skies, distant horizons, and imaginary creatures. I
hope to create not moments of greatness, but rather moments where
greatness has become mundane and attainable, moments that the viewer can
place themselves inside.”
